Grazing

natural ecosystems and the biodiversity they support. We are currently living through the sixth mass extinction, but unlike earlier extinctions, this one is being caused by human activity. Due to the destruction of natural habitats for farming and grazing, building of urban cities and economic over-exploitation over the past 2 generations, the “The population number of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish across the globe is, on average, about half the size it was 40 years ago.” It is…

The European or Common Rabbit, also known as Oryctolagus Cuniculus, is an example of an invasive species. An invasive species is a non-native species introduced to an area where it has no natural predators; its population grows quickly and takes over. The European/Common Rabbit is usually grayish brown with a pale underside but some are completely white. They have long, upright, straight ears. They are typically thirteen and half inches to twenty inches long and their tails measures to around…

However, Superannuated Terra crops and weeds could in return they had coexisted in the air ample in excess of grazing animals for life-span. In sheer, it transformed European crops and weeds transformed the vista of the Original Clay and introduced extremist animals, stranger store to earthworms. Wherever earthworms appeared, it unfledged the view, aerating the defame…

Tropical Andes The Tropical Andes is located from western Venezuela to northern Argentina and Chile with a span of 1,542,644 km² and also include parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and portions of the Andes Mountains. The hotspots extends 1000 meters down where it borders the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena Hotspot in the west. One of the reasons that the Tropical Andes has such a diverse group of species is because it contains mountain snowcapped peaks, steep slopes, isolated valleys, and…

Soil erosion is the removal of topsoil that happens faster than the soil forming processes can replace it. This can be caused by over grazing, wind removing topsoil and vegetation being removed leaving the soil to erode. Another reason controlled burning can be beneficial is that it minimizes the spread of pest insects and disease. It does this by killing the bugs or pesticides that carry…

ultimately killed a quarter of a million people (Marston et al. 2014). Recent attention has been focussed on this issue to determine whether the devastation that occurred in the Sahel was human induced as a result of population growth, poverty, and over grazing of herds or whether it was due to climate change. If the desertification in the Sahel was ultimately due to human behavior, then it is important to take the next steps in preventing further desertification in the Sahel and in other…

called soil organic carbon (SOC). It is made up of decaying plant and animal material. Ecological and agricultural research shows that deliberately increasing SOC raises the health and amount of food produced of crops and improves pastureland for grazing livestock. Decomposition of plant and animal material in the soil also releases other nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphates, which are vital for plant growth. SOC also changes the overall soil composition it increases the amount of water…
